Terre Haute Masonic Temple - Terre Haute, IN - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

Per a 7/9/07 Tribune-Star article link ,
The Temple building was built to be fireproof because just before its construction began in 1915, Terre Haute suffered a number of devastating fires. As a result of those fires, the city’s leaders demanded the building contain no wooden structures, Burns said. The building contains a number of unusual fire-safety features, he said.

Around 2,000 members of the fraternity of Freemasons use the old building today.

... as several lodges.
